PREFACE 


A  successful  Sunday-school  largely  depends  upon  its  Service 
Book;  and  such  Book  must  possess  those  features  calculated  to  secure 
this  end.  It  must  be  inexpensive,  that  every  scholar,  however  limited 
the  resources  of  the  school,  may  have  a  Service  Book  to  himself,  and 
not  be  forced,  in  order  to  participate  in  its  prayers  and  praises,  to  depend 
upon  the  courtesy  of  another — sometimes  at  the  expense  of  both  bodily 
comfort  and  a  devotional  spirit.  It  must  be  simple  in  arrangement,  that 
there  be  no  difficulty  in  at  once  finding  any  office  or  hymn.  It  should 
be  flexible  in  character,  to  be  adapted  to  the  various  needs  and  occa- 
sions of  Sunday-school  and  Children's  Church-worship,  and  to  afford 
variety  without  being  either  cumbersome  or  costly.  It  should  be  respon- 
sive and  uninterrupted  in  movement,  that  the  flow  of  devotion  may  not 
stagnate,  and  -the  minds  of  the  children  be  continually  engaged  by 
having  an  equal  part  to  perform  with  the  Leader  of  the  service. 

If  to  these  important  features  of  a  Service  Book  it  be  added,  that  its 
prayers  should  be  simple  and  direct,  expressing  in  plain  language  the 
actual  needs  of  Teachers  and  Scholars,  without  neglecting — as  is  too 
common  in  Sunday-school  services — a  full  measure  of  thanksgiving  for 
mercies  and  blessings  received ;  that  its  hymns  should  be  suited  to  dif- 
ferent ages,  tastes  and  grades  of  intelligence,  while  yet  pure  in  sentiment 
and  teaching,  elevated  in  character,  and  impressive  and  inspiring  in 
measure  and  spirit;  then,  have  we  a  Service  Book  possessing  the 
requisites  for  usefulness  and  success  in  the  work  of  the  Sunday-school. 

The  aim  of  the  Editor  of  the  present  Manual  has  been  to  supply  just 
such  a  book.  The  work  was  undertaken  at  the  request  of  the  Superin- 
tendents and  Teachers  of  his  Sunday-schools,  and  has  been  prosecuted 
in  the  belief  that  a  book  of  this  kind  was  needed,  and  would  be  benefi- 
cial to  schools  in  general.  It  was  hoped,  also,  that  it  would  be  useful 
to  children  and  parents  at  home. 


PREFACE. 

Two  full  and  comparatively  long  services  are  given  for  the  Morning 
and  Afternoon  sessions  of  the  Sunday-school.  Each  of  these  services 
may  be  divided  into  three,  the  division  being  plainly  indicated  by  rubric, 
and  easily  followed  by  the  Leader, — with  no  break  perceptible,  or  instruc- 
tion necessary,  to  the  scholar.  This  affords  those  who  do  not  prefer  the 
richer  services  an  opportunity  of  using  many  shorter  ones,  with  the 
advantage  of  variety  and  of  adaptation  to  special  occasions.  All  prayers, 
except  those  of  the  closing  services,  are  in  the  form  of  a  Litany,  or  to  be 
said  aloud  with  the  Leader.  Pastors  and  Superintendents  should  see 
that  these  prayers  and  responses  are  committed  and  said  by  their  schol- 
ars. By  also  chanting  the  Psalter  responsively,  increased  life  and  interest 
will  be  given  the  services. 

In  each  part  of  the  Prayer  Book,  the  design  has  been  not  only  to  pre- 
sent a  suitable  vehicle  for  children's  devotions,  but  by  such  means  also, 
to  train  them  in  the  services  of  the  Church,  and  make  them  familiar 
with  its  Liturgy.  In  selecting  the  hymns  of  the  Praise  Book,  care  has 
been  taken  to  choose  those  most  valuable  for  their  gospel  teaching  and 
literary  excellence;  but  sometimes  the  latter  quality  has  been  more  or 
less  sacrificed  to  the  former  when  both  could  not  be  obtained  in  verses 
adapted  to  an  inspiring  piece  of  music.  It  is  believed,  however,  that  the 
hymns  of  the  Praise  Book  are  not  excelled  for  variety,  excellence, 
beauty  and  impressive  religious  teaching  by  any  like  collection. 

The  Editor  would  here  convey  his  grateful  thanks  for  the  use  of  the 
hymns  in  this  volume,  to  their  authors  and  publishers.  Full  lists  of 
both  are  given  in  the  Indexes,  with  the  Titles  of  the  Books  from  which 
the  hymns  are  taken.  His  thanks  are  also  due  to  Messrs.  Lewis  H. 
Redner  and  George  C.  Thomas  for  counsel  and  assistance  in  the  man- 
agement of  the  work;  and  especially  to  M'r.  John  Graff  and  Prof.  George 
Colgan  for  very  valuable  professional  aid  in  the  selection  of  music 
appropriate  for  its  hymns,  and  in  preparing  its  musical  portions  for  the 
Press.  W.  F.  P.

MORNING. 

^  The  School  being  called  to  order,  the  service  shall  commence  by  singing  from 
the  Praise  Book 

&  ipm. 

^  Or,  may  be  chanted  the  following 

OCOME,  let  us  sing  un-  |  to  the  |  Lord  ; 
Let  us  heartily  rejoice   in   the  |  strength  of  |  our 
sal-  |  vation. 
Let  us  come  before  His  presence  |  with  thanks-  |  giving; 
And  show  ourselves  |  glad  in  |  Him  with  |  psalms. 
For  the  Lord  is  a  |  great —  |  God  ; 
And  a  great  |  King  a-  |  bove  all  |  gods. 
In  His  hand  are  all  the  corners  |  of  the  |  earth ; 
And  the  strength  of  the  |  hills  is  |  His —  |  also. 
The  sea  is  His,  |  and  He  |  made  it; 
And  His  hands  pre-  |  pared  the  |  dry —  |  land, 
O  come,  let  us  worship,  |  and  fall  |  down ; 
And  kneel  be-  |  fore  the  |  Lord  our  |  Maker. 
For  He  is  the  |  Lord  our  |  God  ; 

And  we  are  the  people  of  His  pasture,  |  and  the  |  sheep 
of  His  |  hand.  (9) 


10  OPENING   SERVICE. 

8  O  worship  the  Lord  in  the  |  beauty  of  |  holiness; 
Let  the  whole  earth  |  stand  in  |  awe  of  |  Him. 

9  For  He  cometh,  for  He  cometh  to  |  judge  the  |  earth; 
And  with  righteousness  to  judge  the  world,  and  the  j 

people  |  with  His  |  truth, 
xo  Glory  be  to  the  Father,  |  and — to  the  |  Son, 

And  |  to  the  |  Holy  |  Ghost  ; 
ii  As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  |  ever  |  shall  be, 

World  with-  [  out  end.  |  A |  men. 

fl  Then  shall  the  Superintendent  make  this 

DEAR  CHILDREN :— In  God's  Holy  Word  it  is  said, 
"  Remember  now  thy  Creator    in  the  days   of  thy 
youth." 

"Draw  nigh  unto  God  and  He  will  draw  nigh  unto  you." 

"Let  the  wicked  forsake  his  way,  and  the  unrighteous 

man  his  thoughts;  and  let  him  return  unto  the  Lord,  and 

He  will  have  mercy  upon  him;  and  to  qur  God.   for  He 

will  abundantly  pardon. " 

"The  Lord  is  rich  in  mercy  to  all  that  call  upon  Him." 
"In  everything  by  prayer  and  supplication  with  thanks- 
giving, let  your  requests  be  made  known  unto  God." 

Wherefore,  I  pray  and  beseech  you,  as  many  as  are  here 
present,  to  accompany  me  with  a  pure  heart,  and  humble 
voice,  unto  the  throne  of  the  heavenly  grace,  saying : 

^  The  above  Address  may  be  shortened  and  varied  by  using  only  two  of  its  sentences 
at  any  one  time.     All  kneeling  shall  then  together  say 


OPENING    SERVICE.  11 

OGOD,  whose  ear  is  always  open  to  the  cry  of  Thy  chil- 
dren, hear  us  as  we  come  to  Thee  to  confess  our  sins 
and  seek  Thy  pardoning  grace  and  guidance.  Forgive  all 
that  has  been  wrong  in  our  lives  during  the  past  week ;  our 
anger,  pride  and  self-will \  our  idle  thoughts  and  unkind 
words;  our  neglect  of  duty  and  forgetfulness  of  Thee. 
Pardon  us  for  the  love  of  Thy  dear  Son.  Enable  us  to 
accept  Him  as  the  Saviour  of  our  souls,  and  the  Leader  of 
all  our  lives.  Renew  within  us  holy  affections  and  desires. 
Lift  us  above  a  weak  or  wicked  fear  of  ridicule  and  reproach 
when  in  the  path  of  duty.  Give  us  patience  when  provoked, 
courage  when  ready  to  despair,  and  faith  alway  in  Thy 
promises  and  sustaining  grace.  May  we  so  live  as  to  be 
numbered  with  Thy  faithful  soldiers  in  the  life  that  now  is, 
and  with  the  hosts  of  Thy  redeemed  ones  in  that  life  which 
is  to  come.  All  which  we  ask  for  Jesus  Christ's  sake. 
Amen.

OUR  Father,  who  art  in  heaven,  Hallowed  be  Thy 
Name.  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done  on 
earth,  As  it  is  in  heaven.  Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread. 
And  forgive  us  our  trespasses,  As  we  forgive  those  who  tres- 
pass against  us.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation  ;  But 
deliver  us  from  evil :  For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the 
power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen.

was  conceived  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  Born  of  the  Virgin 
Mary;  Suffered  under  Pontius  Pilate,  Was  crucified,  dead, 
and  buried;  He  descended  into  hell,  The  third  day  He 
rose  from  the  dead ;  He  ascended  into  heaven,  And  sitteth 
on  the  right  hand  of  God  the  Father  Almighty;  From 
thence  He  shall  come  to  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost;  The  holy  Catholic  Church, 
The  Communion  of  Saints;  The  Forgiveness  of  sins;  The 
Resurrection  of  the  body;  And  the  Life  everlasting. 
Amen. 

The  Lord  be  with  you.

OLORD,  our  Heavenly  Father,  without  whose  help  we 
can  do  nothing  that  is  good,  be  with  us  and  bless  us 
in  our  present  work. 

We  beseech  Thee  to  hear  us,  good  Lord. 

Give  to  those  who  shall  instruct  the  young  in  the  knowl- 
edge of  Thy  Word,  a  right  understanding  of  it ;  and  ability 
to  clearly  explain  and  deeply  impress  its  precious  lessons 
upon  the  minds  of  those  committed  to  their  charge. 

We  beseech  Thee  to  hear  us,  good  Lord. 

Look  graciously  upon  the  scholars  of  this  school ;  and 


OPENING    SERVICE.  17 

enable  them  by  Thy  Spirit,  to  receive  the  truth  in  loving 
and  obedient  hearts,  and  acquire  such  knowledge  of  Thy 
Word  and  Thy  Son  Jesus  Christ,  as  shall  make  them  wise 
unto  salvation. 

We  beseech  Thee  to  hear  us,  good  Lord 

Help  them  to  watch  against  temptation,  and  to  resist  and 
overcome  it  when  presented  ;  to  be  faithful,  brave,  and  true 
to  their  duty  and  their  God  ;  to  hate  that  which  Thou  hatest, 
and  love  the  things  which  Thou  commandest. 

We  beseech  Thee  to  hear  us,  good  Lord. 

Grant  that  they,  being  regenerate  and  made  Thy  children 
by  adoption  and  grace,  may  daily  be  renewed  by  Thy  Holy 
Spirit  \  and  increase  in  righteousness  and  true  holiness  more 
and  more  until  they  come  unto  Thy  everlasting  kingdom. 

We  beseech  Thee  to  liear  its,  good  Lord. 

Bless  their  parents,  schoolmates,  friends,  and  all  who  in 
any  way  train  their  minds,  and  mould  their  characters  and 
conduct ;  and  so  qualify  and  guide  them  by  Thy  Word  and 
Spirit,  that  their  instruction  may  ever  be  wise,  their  example 
ever  good,  their  influence  ever  healthful  and  helpful. 

We  beseech  Thee  to  hear  us,  good  Lord. 

Direct  us  in  all  our  doings,  with  Thy  most  gracious  favor, 
and  further  us  with  Thy  continual  help  \  that  in  all  our 
works  begun,  continued,  and  ended  in  Thee,  we  may  glorify 
Thy  Holy  Name,  and  finally,  by  Thy  mercy,  obtain  ever- 
lasting life  ;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

We  beseech  Thee  to  hear  its,  good  Lord.

^  Then  shall  all  together  say 

TO  our  prayers,  O  Lord,  we  join  our  unfeigned  thanks 
for  all  Thy  mercies ;  for  our  being,  our  reason,  and 
all  other  endowments  and  faculties  of  soul  and  body ;  for 
our  home,  for  our  Bible,  for  the  privileges  of  the  Sanctuary, 
and  for  a  Day  of  sacred  rest  and  worship.  Above  all,  we

^f  Then  shall  notices  of  the  next  Sunday's  Lesson,  of  times  of  Bible  Study,  and  of 
other  meetings,  be  given.  Afterward  all  shall  kneel,  and  together  say — it  having  been 
committed  as  part  of  the  day's  lesson — 

%  Then  may  follow  an  extemporaneous  Prayer,  or  one  or  more  "  Special  Prayers," 
or  only  the  following 

ALMIGHTY  GOD,  we  pray  Thee,  that  the  truth  these 
children  have  this  day  received,  may  by  Thy  grace 
dwell  richly  in  their  hearts  and  bear  fruit  to  Thy  glory. 
Take  them  under  the  protection  of  Thy  good  Providence 
this  day  and  all  the  days  of  their  lives ;  and  make  them  to 
have  a  perpetual  fear  and  love  of  Thy  holy  Name.  Wher- 
ever they  are,  may  they  remember  that  Thou,  God,  seest 
them.  Be  their  refuge  and  strength,  their  constant  and 
unfailing  comfort  and  joy.  Fill  them,  O  Lord,  with  a 
love  of  Thy  Day,  and  of  Thy  House  and  its  holy  services. 


20  CLOSING    SERVICE. 

Ever  may  they  feel,  that  their  bodies  were  formed  to  be  the 
temples  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  should  not  be  desecrated 
by  unhallowed  thoughts  or  denied  by  unworthy  deeds ;  but 
rather  given  and  consecrated  to  Thy  service  and  worship. 
May  they  so  live  that  when  Thou  callest  them  hence,  they 
may  joyfully  obey  the  summons,  and  enter  into  the  peace 
and  happiness  of  the  blessed  in  heaven.  All  which  we  ask 
in  the  name  and  through  the  merits  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ.     Amen. 

\  Then  shall  be  said  the  Apostolic  Benediction,  or  this 

THE  blessing  of  God  Almighty,  the  Father,  the  Son,  and 
the  Holy  Ghost,  be  amongst  you  and  remain  with  you 
always.     Amen. 


^V.  B.—Both  the  Opening  and  Closing  Morning  Ser- 
vice, may  be  used  in  the  Afternoon;  and  also,  the 
Evening  Services  may  be  used  in  the  Morning.  Such 
changes  ivould,  for  variety,  be  sometimes  well  in 
Schools  having  two  Sessions  on  the  Lord's  Day. 
When  there  is  only  an  Afternoon  Session,  the 
Morning  Offices  may,  from  their  flexible  character , 
often  be  -preferable.  In  giving  the  two  forms  of 
Devotion,  the  design  has  been  to  afford  opportunity 
of  choice,  as  well  as  provide  Offices  suited  to  par- 
ticular  times.

(Exhortation, 

DEARLY  BELOVED  :  He  who  searcheth  our  hearts  and 
knoweth  our  thoughts,  tells  us  in  His  holy  Word, — 

"  If  we  say  that  we  have  no  sin,  we  deceive  ourselves, 
and  the  truth  is  not  in  us ;  but  if  we  confess  our  sins,  God 
is  faithful  and  just  to  forgive  us  our  sins,  and  to  cleanse  us 
from  all  unrighteousness." 

And  to  encourage  such  confession  and  secure  our  fullest 
confidence  in  His  readiness  to  receive  and  bless  us,  the  dear 
Lord  says : 

"  Come  unto  me,  all  ye  that  travail  and  are  heavy  laden, 
and  I  will  refresh  you." 

"  I  love  them  that  love  me,  and  they  that  seek  me  early 
shall  find  me." 

"Ask,  and  ye  shall  receive,  that  your  joy  may  be  full." 

Wherefore,  I  pray  and  beseech  you,  as  many  as  are  here

voice,  unto  the  throne  of  the  heavenly  grace,  saying, 

%  Here  all  are  to  kneel,  and  if  the  Children's  Church  Service,  make  this 

ALMIGHTY  and  most  merciful  Father;  We  have  erred 
and  strayed  from  Thy  ways  like  lost  sheep.  We  have 
followed  too  much  the  devices  and  desires  of  our  own  hearts. 
We  have  offended  against  Thy  holy  laws.  We  have  left 
undone  those  things  which  we  ought  to  have  done ;  And  we 
have  done  those  things  which  we  ought  not  to  have  done ; 
And  there  is  no  health  in  us.  But  Thou,  O  Lord,  have 
mercy  upon  us,  miserable  offenders.  Spare  Thou  those,  O 
God,  who  confess  their  faults.  Restore  Thou  those  who  are 
penitent ;  According  to  Thy  promises  declared  unto  man- 
kind, in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord.  And  grant,  O  most 
merciful  Father,  for  His  sake ;  That  we  may  hereafter  live 
a  godly,  righteous,  and  sober  life,  To  the  glory  of  Thy 
holy  Name.     Amen. 

^  If  Sunday  School  Service,  this  may  be  said. 

ALMIGHTY  GOD,  our  Heavenly  Father,  we  come 
before  Thee,  confessing  that  we  have  sinned  against 
Thee  and  are  not  worthy  to  be  called  Thy  children.  But, 
O  most  merciful  Father,  who  art  ever  ready  and  willing  to 
forgive  those  who  truly  repent,  pardon,  we  beseech  Thee, 
all  the  sins  which  we  have  committed  against  Thee  in 
thought,  word,  and  deed ;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.

the  fruit  of  good  living,  to  their  present  and  eternal  wel-

ALMIGHTY  GOD,  the  Fountain  of  all  wisdom,  and  the 
Author  of  all  good,  grant  Thy  grace,  we  humbly 
beseech  Thee,  to  the  teachers  of  this  school.  Enlighten 
their  minds  more  and  more  with  the  light  of  the  everlast- 
ing Gospel.  Graft  in  their  hearts  a  love  of  the  truth. 
Inspire  them  with  zeal  for  Thy  glory  and  for  the  welfare  of 
souls.  Give  them  gentleness  and  patience,  fidelity  and 
wisdom,  in  the  discharge  of  their  important  duties.  Reward 
with  abundant  success  their  diligent  care  and  loving  service 
in  the  spiritual  training  of  their  pupils.  Help  them  to  rear 
their  tender  thought  to  a  ripened  comprehension  of  Thy  truth, 
and  their  youthful  principles  and  habits  to  the  maturity  of 
well-developed  Christian  character.  And  when  life's  work 
is  over,  may  they  enter  into  the  blessedness  of  those  who, 
having  turned  many  to  righteousness,  shine  as  the  stars  for- 
ever and  ever  in  the  kingdom  of  their  Father.  All  this

command  Thy  people  to  spread  far  and  wide  the  knowledge 
of  the  great  salvation,  give  to  the  members  of  this  school  a 
hearty  desire  to  aid  in  this  blessed  work.  According  to 
their  ability  and  opportunity  may  they,  in  their  tender 
years,  convey  to  those  around  them  some  measure  of  the  life- 
giving  truth  they  have  received.  Deepen  in  their  minds  a 
sense  of  the  spiritual  darkness  and  slavery  of  those  redeemed 
by  the  blood  of  Jesus  in  heathen  nations ;  and  make  them 
willing  to  labor  and  deny  themselves  in  order  to  send  them 
the  Gospel.  May  there  be  some  here,  who,  led  by  Thy 
Spirit,  shall  give  themselves  in  their  maturer  years  to  the 
work  of  the  ministry  ;  and  bear  the  glad  tidings  of  salvation 
to  the  ignorant  and  the  lost  in  our  own  and  in  distant  lands. 
Grant  us  all  the  spirit  of  our  dear  Lord,  who,  though  rich 
and  enthroned  in  glory,  became  poor  and  an  outcast  upon 
earth,  that  He  might  make  many  rich  in  the  favor  of  God, 
and  in  the  joys  of  heaven.  Inspire  Thy  people  to  great 
efforts  for  the  conversion  of  the  world  ;  and  hasten  the  time 
when  the  truth  shall  everywhere  be  preached,  and  the  king- 
dom of  Thy  dear  Son  everywhere  be  set  up.  And  this  we 
beg  for  the  great  Redeemer's  sake.     Amen.

SPECIAL   PRAYERS. 


Thou  hast  taken  from  our  midst  one  who  was  very  dear  to 
many  hearts  now  sorely  stricken  and  distressed.  Look 
upon  them  in  mercy,  and  afford  them  that  consolation 
Thou  only  canst  bestow.  As  it  was  in  goodness  Thou 
gavest  them  this  blessing,  so,  may  they  feel,  in  goodness 
Thou  hast  withdrawn  the  loved  one  from  their  sight.  Help 
us  all  to  realize  how  short  and  uncertain  our  life  is,  and 
ever  be  in  readiness  to  cheerfully  obey  the  call  to  part  with 
earth  and  earthly  things.  And  when  the  gate  of  death  is 
passed,  may  each  of  us,  by  Thine  infinite  merit,  O  blessed 
Saviour,  enter  into  the  mansions  Thou  hast  prepared  for 
those  who  love  Thee ;  and  with  all  the  dear  ones  gone 
before,  will  we  ascribe  to  Thee,  with  the  Father  and  the 
Holy  Spirit,  the  praise  of  our  salvation  forever  and  ever.

Thy  love  alone, 
Thy  little  one  doth  keep.

3  Now  the  little  birds  arise, 
Chirping  gayly  in  the  skies ;

In  the  early  songs  they  raise.

Give  to  me  my  daily  bread ; 
And  Thy  Holy  Spirit  give, 
Without  whom  I  cannot  live.     Amen.

Yet  pass  not  from  us  with  the  sun, 
True  light  that  light'  nest  all.

Where  night  can  never  be, 
The  white-robed  harpers  of  the  sky 
Bring  ceaseless  songs  to  Thee. 

3  Too  faint  our  anthems  here ; 

Too  soon  of  praise  we  tire ; 
But  oh  !  the  strains  how  full  and  clear 
Of  that  eternal  choir !

EVENING. 

4  Yet,  Lord,  to  Thy  dear  will 
If  Thou  attune  the  heart, 
We  in  thine  angels'  music  still 
May  bear  our  lower  part. 

Chorus, — Shine  Thou  within  us,  then, 
A  day  that  knows  no  end, 
Till  songs  of  angels  and  of  men 
In  perfect  praise  shall  blend.

This  day  from  morn  to  even, 
I  pray  the  Lord  most  Holy, 

That  I  may  be  forgiven. 
His  saving  death,  most  precious, 

As  I  recall  to  mind, 
Assures  me  He  is  gracious, 

And  pitiful,  and  kind. 

3  While  I,  my  sins  confessing, 

Implore  His  pardoning  love, 
I'll  praise  Him  for  each  blessing 

Descending  from  above ; 
Then  lay  me  down  reposing, 

Secure  from  harm  and  fears, 
Sweet  sleep  mine  eyelids  closing, 

Till  morning  light  appears.

From  H.  S.  S.  H.  No.  64.     6s,  8s.

And  heard  his  Maker's  voice, 
At  ev'ry  word  He  spoke 
How  much  did  he  rejoice  ! 

0  blessed,  happy  child,  to  find 

The  God  of  heaven  so  near  and  kind !

And  say  He  was  my  Friend, 
How  happy  I  should  be  ! 

O,  how  would  I  attend  ! 
The  smallest  sin  I  then  should  fear, 
If  God  Almighty  were  so  near. 

3  And  does  He  never  speak  ! 

O  yes ;  for,  in  His  word, 
He  bids  me  come  and  seek 

The  God  that  Samuel  heard : 
In  almost  every  page  I  see 
The  God  of  Samuel  calls  to  me. 

4  And  I  beneath  His  care 

May  safely  rest  my  head ; 

1  know  that  God  is  there 

To  guard  my  humble  bed* 
And  every  sin  I  well  may  fear, 
Since  God  Almighty  is  so  near.

My  wearied  eyelids  gently  steep, 

Be  my  last  thought,  how  sweet  to  rest 
For  ever  on  my  Saviour's  breast  ! 

3  Abide  with  me  from  morn  till  eve, 
For  without  Thee  I  cannot  live  ! 
Abide  with  me  when  night  is  nigh, 
For  without  Thee  I  dare  not  die  !

Have  spurn'd,  to-day,  the  voice  divine; 
Now,  Lord,  the  gracious  work  begin  \ 
Let  him  no  more  lie  down  in  sin  !

With  blessings  from  Thy  boundless  store !

2  Swift  to  its  close  ebbs  out  life's  little  day; 
Earth's  joys  grow  dim,  its  glories  pass  away ; 
Change  and  decay  in  all  around  I  see; 

0  Thou,  who  changest  not,  abide  with  me. 

3  I  need  Thy  presence  every  passing  hour : 

What  but  Thy  grace  can  foil  the  Tempter's  power? 
Who  like  Thyself  my  guide  and  stay  can  be  ? 
Through  cloud  and  sunshine,  Lord,  abide  with  me. 

4  1  fear  no  foe,  with  Thee  at  hand  to  bless : 
Ills  have  no  weight,  and  tears  no  bitterness  : 
Where  is  death's  sting?  where,  grave,  thy  victory? 

1  triumph  still,  if  Thou  abide  with  me. 

5  Hold  Thou  Thy  cross  before  my  closing  eyes; 
Shine  through  the  gloom,  and  point  me  to  the  skies; 
Heaven's  morning  breaks,  and  earth's  vain  shadows 

flee. 
In  life,  in  death,  O  Lord,  abide  with  me.     Amen.

It  has  no  new,  no  pure  delight ; 
Oh,  try  the  life  which  Christians  live, 

Thou  would'st  be  saved,  why  not  to-night? 

5  Our  blessed  Lord  refuses  none 

Who  would  to  Him  their  souls  unite, 
Then  be  the  work  of  grace  begun, 

Thou  would'st  be  saved,  why  not  to-night?

Our  Guardian  and  Guide  be  through  life's  early  days; 
Let  us  give  Thee  our  hearts,  and  live  to  Thy  praise.

All  hearts  are  not  so  glad  as  we ; 
Remember  then  Thy  poor  to-night, 
And  flood  their  darkness  with  Thy  light. 

The  hungry  feed,  the  wanderer  lead, 

The  sorrowing  soothe,  the  captive  free, 
And  pity,  we  pray,  on  the  children's  day, 
All  those  who  have  no  Christmas  tree.

Their  watch  of  wondering  love. 
O  morning  stars  together 

Proclaim  the  holy  birth  ! 
And  praises  sing  to  God  the  King, 

And  peace  to  men  on  earth. 

3  How  silently,  how  silently, 

The  wondrous  gift  is  given; 
So  God  imparts  to  human  hearts 

The  blessings  of  His  heaven. 
No  ear  may  hear  His  coming, 

But  in  this  world  of  sin, 
Where  meek  souls  will  receive  Him  still, 

The  dear  Christ  enters  in.

CHRISTMAS. 

4  O  holy  Child  of  Bethlehem  ! 

Descend  to  us,  we  pray, 
Cast  out  our  sin  and  enter  in, 

Be  born  in  us  to-day. 
We  hear  the  Christmas  angels, 

The  great  glad  tidings  tell, 
O,  come  to  us,  abide  with  us, 

Our  Lord  Emmanuel !

Within  His  gentle  fold,

In  every  guileless  face, 
You  see  the  holy  Jesus, 

Who  grew  in  truth  and  grace. — Cho,

For  He  who  chose  the  manger, 

He  loveth  one  and  all. — Cho. 


ONCE  IN  ROYAL  DAVID'S  CITY. 

From  the  C.  P.  Xo.  45.     S>,  7s,  75. 

OXCE  in  royal  David's  city 
Stood  a  lowly  cattle  shed, 
71 


CHRISTMAS. 

Where  a  mother  laid  her  baby, 

In  a  manger  for  His  bed  ; 
Mary  was  that  mother  mild, 
Jesus  Christ  her  little  child. 

2  He  came  down  to  earth  from  heaven, 

Who  is  God  and  Lord  of  all, 
And  His  shelter  was  a  stable, 

And  His  cradle  was  a  stall ; 
With  the  poor,  and  mean,  and  lowly, 
Lived  on  earth  our  Saviour  holy. 

3  And,  through  all  His  wondrous  childhood, 

He  would  honor  and  obey, 
Love,  and  watch  the  lowly  maiden 

In  whose  gentle  arms  He  lay  ; 
Christian  children  all  must  be 
Mild,  obedient,  good  as  He. 

4  For  He  is  our  childhood's  pattern, 

Day  by  day  like  us  He  grew ; 
He  was  little,  weak,  and  helpless, 

Tears  and  smiles  like  us  He  knew; 
And  He  feeleth  for  our  sadness, 
And  He  shareth  in  our  gladness. 

5  And  our  eyes  at  last  shall  see  Him, 

Through  His  own  redeeming  love, 
For  that  Child  so  dear  and  gentle 
Is  our  Lord  in  heaven  above ; 

72 


CHRISTMAS. 

And  He  leads  His  children  on 
To  the  place  where  He  has  gone. 

Not  in  that  poor  lowly  stable, 
With  the  oxen  standing  by, 

We  shall  see  Him ;  but  in  heaven, 
Set  at  God's  right  hand  on  high : 

When  like  stars  His  children  crowned 

All  in  white  shall  wait  around.

WHAT  MEANS  THIS  GLORY  ROUND  OUR  FEET? 

From  the  S.  S.,  page  108.     L.  M. 


38  "W 


^^HAT  means  this  glory  round  our  feet," 

The  Magi  mused,  "more  bright  than  morn?" 
And  voices  chanted  clear  and  sweet, 

"  To-day,  the  Prince  of  Peace  is  born  !  " 


2   "  What  means  that  star,"  the  shepherds  said, 
"  That  brightens  through  the  rocky  glen?  M 
And  angels,  answering  overhead, 

Sang,  "  Peace  on  earth,  good-will  to  men  ! ,! 


CHRISTMAS. 

3  'Tis  eighteen  hundred  years  and  more 

Since  those  sweet  oracles  were  dumb; 
We  wait  for  Him  like  them  of  yore ; 
Alas !  He  seems  so  slow  to  come  ! 

4  But  it  was  said  in  words  of  gold, 

No  time  or  sorrow  e'er  shall  dim, 
That  little  children  might  be  bold^ 
In  perfect  trust  to  come  to  Him. 

5  All  round  about  our  feet  shall  shine 

A  light  like  that  the  wise  men  saw, 
If  we  our  loving  wills  incline 

To  that  sweet  Life  which  is  the  Law. 

6  So  shall  we  learn  to  understand 

The  simple  faith  of  shepherds  then  ; 
And  kindly  clasping  hand  in  hand, 

Sing,  "  Peare  on  earth,  good-will  to  men  !  "

KNOW  not  what  shall  befall  me ; 
God  hangs  a  mist  o'er  my  eyes, 
And  at  each  step  in  my  onward  way, 

He  makes  new  scenes  to  arise ; 
And  ev'ry  joy  He  sends  to  me, 
Is  a  strange  and  sweet  surprise.

NEW    YEAR. 

Chorus. — Not  knowing,  not  knowing, 

I'll  follow  Jesus  my  Saviour : 
Not  knowing,  not  knowing, 
I'll  follow  where'er  He  leads. 

2  I  see  not  a  step  before  me, 

As  I  tread  on  another  year; 
The  past  is  still  in  God's  keeping, 

The  future  His  mercy  will  clear ; 
And  what  looks  dark  in  the  distance, 

May  brighten  as  I  draw  near. — Cho. 

3  It  may  be  He  keeps,  waiting 

The  coming  of  my  feet, 
Some  gift  of  such  rare  beauty, 

Some  joy  so  strangely  sweet, 
That  my  lips  shall  only  tremble 

With  the  thanks  they  cannot  speak. — Cho. 

4  Oh,  restful,  blissful  darkness ! 

'Tis  blessed  not  to  know, — 
It  keeps  me  still  in  the  arms  of  God, 

Which  will  not  let  me  go ; 
My  soul  is  hushed  to  peaceful  rest 

In  the  heart  that  loves  me  so. — Cho. 

5  So  I  go  onward,  not  knowing : 

I  would  not  if  I  might, —

O,  dearly,  dearly  has  He  loved,

And  trust  in  His  redeeming  blood, 

And  try  His  works  to  do. 

WHEN  THE  MARTYRED  ONE  I  SEK 

From  the  C.  T.,  page  22.     7s. 
IT  THEN  the  Martyred  One  I  see, 


VV    Think  of  all  His  love  for  me, 
Love  that  suffered  grief  and  shame, 
Crown  of  thorns,  and  slandered  name ; 
See  His  tears  of  anguish  flow, 
Shed  for  me,  those  tears  I  know, 
This  must  still  my  wonder  be, 
That  He  died,  He  died  for  me ! 

Chorus. — Jesus  died,  He  died  for  me!. 
Bleeding  on  the  cruel  tree ; 
Greater  wonder  cannot  be 
Than  that  Jesus  died  for  me !

2  Blessed  One,  hear  Thou  my  cry  ! 
Weak  and  worthless,  Lord,  am  I; 
Nothing  from  Thy  hand  I  claim; 
No  excuse  my  lips  can  frame. 
Help  me  in  Thy  love  to  trust, 
Merciful  and  good  and  just ; 
Though  a  wonder  still  it  be, 
Thou  didst  die,  didst  die  for  me  ! 

3  When  this  heart  is  stilled  to  rest; 
When  I  rise  to  join  the  blest; 
When  with  that  angelic  throng, 
Shall  these  lips  take  up  the  song; 
Though  I  sing  my  Saviour's  praise, 
Through  Eternity's  glad  days, 
This  for  aye  will  wonder  be, 

That  He  died,  He  died  for  me  !

Soon  as  their  Lord  they  saw  and  heard, 
Ere  the  early  dawn  appeared, 
On  Easter  Day  at  morning.

To  fill  the  fragrant  sepulchre.

To  the  dear  saints  that  thus  adored, 

Was  like  ointment  sweet  outpoured, 

On  Easter  Day  at  morning. — Cho. 

3  Last  to  kiss  His  feet  were  they, 
When  in  death  His  body  lay ; — 
Last  to  weep  while  they  around 

His  limbs  the  linen  grave-clothes  wound : 
First,  then,  they  hear  angels  tell 
How  the  Lord  Christ,  our  foes  to  quell, 
Burst  the  bands  of  Death  and  Hell, 
On  Easter  Day  at  morning. — Cho.

That  Jesus  Christ  is  risen  again !

Sweetly  as  when,  from  woman's  tongue, 
First  its  thrilling  raptures  rung,

Of  resurrection-light : 
And,  listening  to  His  accents, 

May  hear,  so  calm  and  plain, 
His  own  "All  hail !  "  and,  hearing, 

May  raise  the  victor-strain.

Look  on  us,  Thy  flock,  to-day ; 
Meekly  kneeling  at  Thine  altar, 

For  Thy  sevenfold  Gift  we  pray  \ 
Guide  us,  all  our  earthly  journey, 

In  the  true  and  narrow  way. 
Foes  on  every  hand  are  round  us, 

And  our  hearts  are  weak  and  frail ; 
Gird  us  with  Thy  heavenly  armor, 

Never  let  us  yield  or  quail ! 
Give  us  victory  in  the  struggle, 

When  the  hosts  of  sin  assail. 
Lead  us  by  Thy  hand,  O  Saviour, 

Through  the  waste,  with  evil  rife, 
Feed  us  with  the  heavenly  Manna, 

That  we  faint  not  in  the  strife ; 
Slake  our  weary  spirits  thirsting 

From  the  fount  of  endless  Life.

NO  LOVE  LIKE  THE  LOVE  OF  JESUS.

Q  P     H^HERE  is  no  love  like  the  love  of  Jesus  ; 
OD      1      Never  to  fade  or  fall, 

Till  into  the  fold  of  the  peace  of  God 
He  has  gathered  us  all. 

Chorus. — Jesus'  love,  precious  love, 
Boundless,  pure  and  free ! 
Jesus'  love,  precious  love, 
Boundless,  pure  and  free ! 

2  There  is  no  heart  like  the  heart  of  Jesus; 

Filled  with  a  tender  love, 
No  throb  or  throe  that  our  hearts  can  know 
But  He  feels  it  above. — Cho. 

3  There  is  no  eye  like  the  eye  of  Jesus  ; 

Piercing  so  far  away, 
Ne'er  out  of  the  sight  of  its  tender  light 
Can  the  wanderer  stray. — Cho. 

4  O  let  us  hark  to  the  voice  of  Jesus  ! 

O  may  we  never  roam, 
Till  safely  we  rest  on  His  loving  breast, 
In  the  dear  heav'nly  home. — Cho.

f  Q/*     npHE  Church's  one  foundation 
OU      1      Is  Jesus  Christ  her  Lord  ; 
She  is  His  new  creation 

By  water  and  the  Word  : 
From  heav'n  He  came  and  sought  her 

To  be  His  holy  Bride ; 
With  His  own  blood  He  bought  her, 
And  for  her  life  He  died. 

2  Elect  from  every  nation, 

Yet  one  o'er  all  the  earth, 
Her  charter  of  salvation 

One  Lord,  one  Faith,  one  Birth ; 
One  holy  Name  she  blesses, 

Partakes  one  holy  Food, 
And  to  one  Hope  she  presses, 

With  every  grace  endued. 

3  Though  with  a  scornful  wonder, 

Men  see  her  sore  opprest, 
By  schisms  re*nt  asunder, 

By  heresies  distrest ; 
Yet  saints  their  watch  are  keeping, 

Their  cry  goes  up,  "  How  long?" 
And  soon  the  night  of  weeping 

Shall  be  the  morn  of  song.

Saviour,  this  my  constant  prayer  shall  be, 
Day  by  day,  where'er  I  stray, 

Make  me  more  and  more  like  Thee. 

2  Lest  I  wander  from  Thy  pathway, 

Or  my  feet  move  wearily, 
Saviour,  take  my  hand  and  lead  me, 

Keep  me  steadfast :  more  like  Thee. — Cho.

In  Thee  is  life  provided 
For  all  mankind  and  me. 

I  know  no  death,  O  Jesus, 
Because  I  live  in  Thee  : 

Thy  death  it  is  which  frees  us 
From  death  eternally. 

I  fear  no  tribulation, 

Since,  whatsoe'er  it  be, 
It  makes  no  separation 

Between  my  Lord  and  me. 
If  Thou,  my  God  and  Teacher, 

Vouchsafe  to  be  my  own, 
Though  poor,  I  should  be  richer 

Than  monarch  on  his  throne. 

Lord,  with  this  truth  impress  me, 

And  write  it  on  my  heart, 
To  comfort,  cheer  and  bless  me ; — 

That  Thou  my  Saviour  art. 
Without  Thy  love  to  guide  me, 

I  should  be  wholly  lost : 
The  floods  would  quickly  hide  me, 

On  life's  wide  ocean  tossed.

And  mock'd  the  cross  and  flame. 
They  met  the  tyrant's  brandish' d  steel, 

The  lion's  gory  mane;

Around  the  Saviour's  throne  rejoice, 

In  robes  of  light  arrayed:

Through  peril,  toil,  and  pain :

No  !  the  Church  delights  to  raise 
Psalms  and  hymns  and  songs  of  praise. 
Saints  below,  with  heart  and  voice, 
Still  in  songs  of  praise  rejoice ; 
Learning  here,  by  faith  and  love, 
Songs  of  praise  to  sing  above. 
Borne  upon  their  latest  breath, 
Songs  of  praise  shall  conquer  death  ! 
Then,  amidst  eternal  joy, 
Songs  of  praise  their  powers  employ.

THE  MORNING  STARS  WERE  SINGING. 

From  C.  T.,  page  83.     7s,  6s,  D. 

THE  morning  stars  were  singing 
With  joy,  when  time  began  ; 
And  heavenly  peals  were  ringing, 

When  God  created  man. 
The  universe  was  swelling, 

With  jubilant  delight, 
While  all  to  all  were  telling 
Jehovah's  power  and  might. 

A  higher  song  of  glory 

Was  sung  in  after  time ; 
And  shepherds  heard  the  story, 

Rehearsed  in  sounds  sublime; 
Of  Jesus  in  a  manger, 

God's  well-beloved  Son, 
Who  came  to  save  from  danger 

A  race  by  sin  undone. 

A  multitude  of  voices 

Have  learned  this  holy  song ; 
And  earth  with  heaven  rejoices, 

To  roll  the  sound  along. 
With  saints  and  angels  o'er  us, 

Who  sing  by  us  unheard, 
We  join  the  gladsome  chorus, 

And  echo  every  word.

For  Thy  pleasure,  didst  design.

And,  the  light  of  hope  revealing, 

Bade  the  blood-stained  cross  appear.

Vainly  would  my  lips  express ; 
Low  before  Thy  footstool  kneeling, 

Deign  Thy  suppliant's  prayer  to  bless: 
Let  Thy  grace,  my  soul's  chief  treasure, 

Love's  pure  flame  within  me  raise,

JERUSALEM,  the  golden, 
With  milk  and  honey  blest ; 
Beneath  thy  contemplation 

Sink  heart  and  voice  opprest. 
I  know  not,  oh  !   I  know  not 
What  joys  await  us  there  ; 
What  radiancy  of  glory, 

What  bliss  beyond  compare. 

They  stand,  those  halls  of  Sion, 

All  jubilant  with  song, 
And  bright  with  many  an  angel, 

And  all  the  martyr  throng. 
The  Prince  is  ever  in  them, 

The  daylight  is  serene ; 
The  pastures  of  the  blessed 

Are  decked  in  glorious  sheen.

3  There  is  the  throne  of  David ; 

And  there,  from  care  released, 
The  shout  of  them  that  triumph, 

The  song  of  them  that  feast. 
And  they,  who  with  their  Leader, 

Have  conquered  in  the  fight, 
For  ever  and  for  ever 

Are  clad  in  robes  of  white. 

4  O  sweet  and  blessed  country, 

The  home  of  God's  elect ! 
O  sweet  and  blessed  country, 

That  eager  hearts  expect ! 
Jesus,  in  mercy  bring  us 

To  that  dear  land  of  rest ; 
Who  art,  with  God  the  Father, 

And  Spirit,  ever  blest.     Amen.

THE  BLIND  MAN,  IN  HIS  DARKNESS. 

From  G.  S.  &  T.  B.  No.  81.     7s,  6s,  D. 

THE  blind  man,  in  his  darkness, 
Beside  the  wayside  sat ; 
He  heard  the  trampling  footsteps 

Throng  through  the  city  gate. 
They  told  him  Christ  of  Nazareth 

That  hour  was  passing  by  : 
And  "Jesus,  have  Thou  mercy!  " 

Was  then  the  blind  man's  cry. 
And  when  the  people  chid  him, 

Still  louder  cried  he, 
"  O  Jesus,  Son  of  David, 

Have  mercy  upon  me!" 
O,  joy  !  He  stands  and  calls  him; 

O,  gush  of  great  delight ! 
His  pitying  words  have  given 

The  blessed  gift  of  sight. 
We,  too,  had  sat  in  darkness, 

Lost  in  our  sin  and  care, 
With  blind  eyes  turned  to  heaven 

That  saw  no  Saviour  there, 
If  Jesus  had  not  made  us 

His  own  by  love  and  grace, 
Here  in  His  Church  to  serve  Him, 

And  see  at  last  His  face.

Each  scale  be  rent  away; 
And  we  behold  His  glory, 

And  see  the  perfect  day.

■f  -|  A/*   Q AVIOUR,  again  to  Thy  dear  Name  we  raise 
jLi/Xj  O     With  one  accord  our  parting  hymn  of  praise; 
We  stand  to  bless  Thee,  ere  our  worship  cease, 
Then,  lowly  kneeling,  wait  Thy  word  of  peace.

MISCELLANEOUS. 

Grant  us  Thy  peace  upon  our  homeward  way ; 
With  Thee  began,  with  Thee  shall  end,  the  day ; 
Guard  Thou  the  lips  from  sin,  the  hearts  from  shame, 
That  in  this  house  have  called  upon  Thy  Name. 

Grant  us  Thy  peace,  Lord,  thro'  the  coming  night, 
Turn  Thou  for  us  its  darkness  into  light; 
From  harm  and  danger  keep  Thy  children  free ; 
For  dark  and  light  are  both  alike  to  Thee 

,  Grant  us  Thy  peace  throughout  our  earthly  life, 
Our  balm  in  sorrow,  and  our  stay  in  strife; 
Then,  when  Thy  voice  shall  bid  our  conflict  cease, 
Call  us,  O  Lord,  to  Thine  eternal  peace. 

HOLY  OFFERINGS,  RICH  AND  RARE. 

From  H.  S.  S.  H.  No.  159.     P.  M. 

HOLY  off 'rings,  rich  and  rare, 
Offerings  of  praise  and  prayer, 
Purer  life  and  purpose  high, 
Clasped  hands,  uplifted  eye, 
Lowly  acts  of  adoration 
To  the  God  of  our  salvation — 
On  His  altar  laid  we  leave  them ; 
Christ,  present  them  !  God,  receive  them ! 
2  Vows  and  longings,  hopes  and  fears, 
Broken-hearted  sighs  and  tears, 
Dreams  of  what  we  yet  might  be 
Could  we  cling  more  close  to  Thee, 
239 


MISCELLANEOUS. 

Which,  despite  of  faults  and  failings, 
Help  Thy  grace  in  its  prevailings — 
On  Thine  altar  laid  we  leave  them ; 
Christ,  present  them  !  God,  receive  them ! 

3  Homage  of  each  humble  heart 
Ere  we-  from  Thy  house  depart ; 
Worship  fervent,  deep  and  high, 
Adoration,  ecstasy; 

All  that  childlike  love  can  render 
Of  devotion  true  and  tender — 
On  Thine  altar  laid  we  leave  them ; 
Christ,  present  them !   God,  receive  them  ! 

4  To  the  Father  and  the  Son, 
And  the  Spirit,  Three  in  One, 
Though  our  mortal  weakness  raise 
Off  rings  of  imperfect  praise, 

Yet  with  hearts  bowed  down  most  lowly, 
Crying,  Holy  !   Holy  !   Holy  ! 
On  Thine  altar  laid  we  leave  them ; 
Christ,  present  them  !  God,  receive  them  !   Amen.
